Inshort, the whole trouble appears to have been
even more discrcditablc to the whites than

the State authorities have found it necessary
to make partial restitution to the aggrieved

There was more squabbling yesterday by the
Pacific Railroad Commission about some OF
its expenses. For "reform" body, engaged
in ferrcting out suspected Irregularities OF
other people, this Commission has an unusual
tendency to get into petty and unseemly scar
dals on its own account. 1t was pretty low to
90 to the very people in San Francisco whom
it had been accusing of rObbing the Govern
mcnt and brbing Congressmen, and borrow
money from them to pay its board bills and
get out of town. II was discrcditabie blunder-
ing to involve itself in an expense of ten OF
twelve thousand dollars in having fresh manu-
script copies made of hundreds of pages OF
tables already reported to the Government
and printed in public documents. After cen
suring the railroad company for having lost
papers that were wanted, it was stupid to carry
off from the proper depository piles OF tho
company's papers itself, and be unable to re-
turn them when called for. Now comes a
vulgar wrangle about a bill 1t seems to have
run up for railroad transportation. Why
couldn't these virtuous investigators have
avoided nasty little scandal like that by
buying their tickets before they entered the
cars, like other folks?

DIT At TILE SMALL IND.

The most significant and important fact dis
closed by the Democratic Convention was the
much diminished power and prestige OF Gov
crnor Hill 1t is known to all persons well
Informed regarding the politics Of this State
that the Governors friends made the most
strenuous efforts to get control OF the new State
Committee. These naturally took the approved
Democratic form of the " still hunt" and it was
some time before the followers Of the President
smelled it out, and still longer before some OF
his next friends could be convinced that tLerc
was need of prompt action. When this was
once made clear there was an immediate and
energetic display Of "pcrnicious activity" MIR.
Hills little State machine was worked to its
full capacity, but it was no match for Mr..
Clcveland's big Federal machine, and the State
Committee was soon safe for denomination
and Reform.
The Governor has less power, if anything,
in the new Committee than in the old. When
the latter met in August TO call the convention.
the Cleveland men numbered eighteen to
thirteen Hill men. Part Of the Hill strength,
however, was shown to be Fictitious. The
Brooklyn members were at the command Of the
Federal Administration in case OF real need
as they arc now. Other men also stood in the
same attitude. in the new Committee. Gov
crn0f Hill has nominal control OF ten members,
or less than one-third of the Committee. De
Quoting the four Brooklyn members, the Coy
crnor has real cOntro of six. less than one
9Th of the body. Both candidates for the
craftsmanship are Cleveland men. After this
showing, we shall probably hear no more Of
Governor Hill as Presidential candidate OK
ccpt from few Jacl1sonian mossbacks" and
one or two newspapers. These people seem
to forget that he would have to secure an abb
solute majority OF the New York delegation to
tho National Democratic Convention in order
TO appear there at all as a candidate. The unit
rule suppresscs any minority, however large.
There was never. probably such formidable
demonstration made against any candidate as
the protest of Tammany Hall against the NOM
nation of Mr.. Tildcn in 1875. But. under the
unit rule, the minority were pOwcrlcss, and the
votes of John Kelly and his followers were re-
corded for Tilden.
It is a sad ending to the Governors hunt.
He has been cunning all summer. and comes
back with only six little birds in his gamc-bag'
He may show himself strong enough
TO convince the Administration that
it would not be wise to refuse
him q denomination. Meantime. VIC do
wish "The Sun" would drop that little refrain
10 the effect that the idea of running for Gov
ernor has "ncycr been admitted in any political
horoscope that has yet been cast by DAVID
Bennett Hill"

THE CENrREBoARD WILL STAY.

If there is any reason why Americans should
not continue to build centreboard boats it has
vet to be demonstrated. The Volunteers
second victory was plainly triumph for that
intelligent and seryiceable device. British
obstinacy may continue to prevent its adoption
abroad, but it must remain an expensive oD-
stinacy. The supremacy of the seas and the
centreboard will abide in America, and if our
cousins are satisfied It is certainly not our
part to complain. In three successive contests
involving six notable races between three diller-
ent ccntrcboard sloops. and three different cut
tors, the English type has been beaten every
time. These defeats cannot be explained away
The best British boats, designed by the best
British artists, built by the best British crafts
men and manned by the best British crews

lean centreboard
SO far as the Thistle is concerned, yesterday
race completed test that made her inferority
to the Volunteer beyond all cavil or dispute.
Whether the wind blows gale and the sea
runs high, or the breeze is light and the water
still, she can indulge in no hope OF beating
the Volunteer. The sloop's great gain was
made in windward work. The difference OF
the angles at which the two vessels met the
wind was simply wonderful. The cutters
gains after turning the stakeboat are not OF
much consequence. for boat which has Its
rival three miles in its wake is not sure OF
doing its best work. Full two minutes for
instance, were lost by the soop in getting out
it's spinnaker. Our early calculation that the
Thistle is about as good boat as the Puritan
proves to be correct. fact which emphasizes
the value of General Paines pubIc-spirited
action.
1t may be, despite all this, that there arc
Englishmen who still honestly believe that
keel boat is the faster type, and that one can
be built TO beat the Volunteer. In that event,
there is but one course open to them. They
must employ Mr.. Burgess to mako her model.
His genius is pre-eminent. No man
ever before enjoyed such series o.
personal triumphs. Every new experience
seems TO teach him new lessons and to perfect
his Judgment. II must be remembered, how
ever, that his opportunities have all come
from the libcrality and patriotism of General
Fame. whose expenditure of money and time
in the defence of the Americas Cup has been
influenced by motives decidedly higher than
those generated by the mere spirit Of sport.
